Writer Ranbir Pushp shared an anecdote highlighting Bollywood actor Nana Patekar's compassionate side, recalling how he chose to forgo buying a Rs 1.5 crore luxury car to help families affected by farmer suicides. Instead, Nana distributed Rs 15,000 cheques among these families and founded the NAAM Foundation to support farmers. Pushp also noted that Nana's temper is often driven by his principles, citing incidents like confronting littering, and defended him against claims that his anger harms film productions.
